One of the funniest reporter/athlete exchanges happened Saturday when Boston Herald scribe John Tomase was talking with Boston College defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka. The snippet, verbatim:
Tomase: "Someone brought up Rosevelt Colvin earlier. During the (New England Patriots') season, he talked about how much he loved sacks. He said on the field it's all he cares about: 'I want sacks. I don't want tackles or interceptions, I want sacks.' Do you have that kind of feeling on the field?"

Kiwanuka: "Do I think of sex on the field?"

Tomase (mortified): "No! Sacks Ã¢â‚¬â€œ SACKS! Good God. I was wondering why you were smiling so much."

Kiwanuka (laughing): "I was wondering where you were going with that."
